Journey of Peace and Purpose by Azim Khamisa 7/12
Azim Khamisa, founder of the Tariq Khamisa Foundation, will speak at the Center for Spiritual Living in Bonita Sun, July 12, at 10am. His commitment to halting the continuing cycle of violence among youth began after his 20-year-old son Tariq was senselessly murdered by a 14-year-old gang member while delivering pizzas in January 1995. Out of unspeakable grief and despair, he was inspired to transform his loss through the miraculous power of forgiveness.
Says Azim, “We humans continuously confront defining moments in our lives. Sometimes these events are joyous; sometimes they are tragedies. At these moments it's important to make the right choices. When we do, we are literally able to manifest a miracle and produce transformation in ourselves and others.”
Azim Khamisa is a highly respected leader and sought after international speaker who not only speaks of powerful, life-changing concepts, but also walks his talk. He delves deeply into hearts and souls, inspiring hope, courage and personal growth, along with providing steps to join him on the journey of peace and purpose.

John Maxwell Taylor presents Living from the Miraculous 7/26
Based on the teachings of “ G.I. Gurdjieff, John Maxwell Taylor will present Living from the Miraculous on 7/26 at One Heart-One Mind Center for Spiritual Living from 12:00-2:00pm. This workshop will reveal secrets to awaken from the collective trance for a truly conscious life of spiritual and material success.
Topics Include: “The Ray of Creation” How an increasingly complex series of laws projected from the Absolute create the Universe. Also the “Third State of Consciousness” We can be Spiritual and still be asleep. This state enables us to know by direct objective. “Self-remembering” induces body, mind and emotions that produce high energy and open the door to extraordinary states of consciousness. “Dynamic Will and Real I” To know God one must be able to say “I” with one's whole being and live from this state all the time, “The Psychology of Self Mastery.” Gurdjieff likens the body/mind/emotional vehicle to a factory for the production of enlightening substances.
His simple diagrams provide great insight into how to step up production of the energy required for higher consciousness and lasting transformation in every area of life.
The suggested Love Offering is $20. The One Heart-One Mind Center For Spiritual Living is located at 10225 Barnes Canyon Rd., Ste C-100, San Diego, CA 92121. The phone number is 858-453-9830 and website is www.oneheart-onemind.org .
